"But presuming his era had ended, a white-haired man in the inner city took a poster of Saddam and beat it with his shoe - a traditional insult. Others gathered to spit on or kick the portrait.

"Come see, this is freedom," the man said. "This is the criminal, this is the infidel. This is the destiny of every traitor. He killed millions of us ... Oh people, this is freedom."

But another old man who has spent the past few weeks quietly telling the Herald how much he longed for this day, said simply: "Now we dance."

"Russert was crying"......

Did you see the Iraqis kissing our soldiers after the statue fell? Too much.

Here's a quote from the article I posted a little while ago:

But presuming his era had ended, a white-haired man in the inner city took a poster of Saddam and beat it with his shoe - a traditional insult. Others gathered to spit on or kick the portrait.

"Come see, this is freedom," the man said. "This is the criminal, this is the infidel. This is the destiny of every traitor. He killed millions of us ... Oh people, this is freedom."

Achmed and Mr. Pretty.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Yes, thank you FoxNews! They are a crucial part of the coalition effort to free Iraq, imho. FoxNews is what the American press used to be when the American people counted their blessings instead of criticizing their country.

[Mr. Silverback]

Here they are!

[Skel]

They are absolutely imploding over at DU.

mid-term election redux. hehe

[epluribus_2]

songs from those days "I have an Uncle and his name is HO"...

Noone will admit their uncle is Saddam this week.

[Right_in_Virginia]

This has got to be France and Germany's worst nightmare. Wasn't France,in particular, worried that Baghdad would great the allies as heroes?!

[Petronski]

And thank you Cowgirl for an excellent perspective. I will remember and use that quote.
